someone will confirm, but, I think they measure from the centre of your wheel to the wheel arch, could be wrong tho.
150 isnt too bad, is that to the kit, or side skirt or something? But that measurement is completely different to the cert measurement anyways.

Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

I measured roughly from somewhere on the bottom of the car (not sideskirt/front lip) to the ground. As said its still the wrong place anyway.

The parts my suspension guy ordered wern't for a super strut model, and thus the bushing dosn't fit in the hole. Its 52mm when it needs to be 50mm. Which means my next option is to get a whole lower control arm, which is too bloody expensive for me to afford at the mo.

SAS = Suspension Autoparts Specialists. No idea if they have a shop in Hamilton, they've got one in Auckland though.
Na not sure on price, cant imagine it being more than $60-80 if you dropped the arm in to them.
